Simple Machine Codes

If you are brand new to Jquery, you can start here. ;D  All the "Jquery and SMF For Free" Tutorials are just for you to learn Jquery for SMF For Free.  So lets get started.

A diffrence between Jquery and Javascript
There are some diffrences between Jquery and Javascript.  Jquery is just a simpler way to do Javascript, and it also involves less code writing, which is very helpfull.  Jquery is ment to move, hide, change and other things like that to an object such as text.
Javascript is to do things like put an default avatar is someone doesn't have one, yes you can do that with Jquery, it is just harder to do.


Setting up Jquery
Well, since this is SMF For Free, you will need to always have this in your Headers since SMF For Free isn't set up to use it...
You will only need it if you don't have it in your Headers already.

Now, you need to put script tags, which tells the code where it starts and ends.
Now that you have the script tags, you will need the next item that every since Jquery script uses...

ID's, class and tags
In between the quotation marks, will be the ID, class or just the tags of an object.  There are diffrent ways you will do ID and class though...
When you want to use an ID you will need to use the number sign (#).  If you want to use a class, you will use a period (.).  The tags of an obect would be td, tr, table, b, a, i, span and much more, just simple things like that.

So, here is an example of an ID
And here is an example of a class
Here is an example of a tag.

Useing tags and classes together
In some cases, you will need to do something where you need to put the tag and the class so that you know your getting the right thing...
As you can see, the tags class is called "class".
